EFEKTIVITAS MODEL PEMBELAJARAN COOPERATIVE INTEGRATED READING AND COMPOSITION DALAM KETERAMPILAN MENULIS DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) learning Model in improving the writing skills of elementary school students. The study employed a systematic literature review method, examining 15 accredited scientific articles from Sinta-indexed and 3 from Scopus-indexed journals published between 2021 and 2025. The selection process followed the PRISMA guidelines with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis results indicate that the implementation of the CIRC model consistently improves students’ writing skills, ranging from expository texts, narratives, and invitation letters to spelling and creative writing abilities. These improvements occurred through mechanisms such as heterogeneous group collaboration, reading-writing integration, discussions, and peer feedback. The CIRC model also increased students’ motivation, engagement, and confidence in writing. This study concludes that CIRC is an effective and flexible learning strategy for addressing low writing skills in elementary school.
